Dirt Cheap Home Theater

Introduction: Dirt Cheap Home Theater

Have you ever wanted to watch a video on your phone but couldn't because holding it makes your arm tired? Well, make this cardboard home theater! It doesn't cost much to make at all, and you can lay down and watch your favorite GreatScott videos!

Step 4: Measure Out Your Phone

I have an iPhone 6, and the screen is about 4.2 by 2.4 inches (give or take). However, if you don't use an iPhone 6, measure your screen with a ruler and mark it on the box. Then, cut the hole using the box razor. Do this carefully, as you'd want the hole to exactly fit the size of your screen

Step 6: The Annoying Inner Flaps

Step 7: I Had To...

Gotta keep the projects in the MLP theme guys. Can't be inconsistent with the title of my instructables :)

Step 8: Enjoy Ur Box

Congrats! you went from having a box to having a box with an elliptical and rectangular hole cut in it! Use it to watch videos all day long and pretend your mom isn't hovering above you wondering why you didn't take out the the trash!

Kudos to keets for mentioning this: you may need to poke some air holes with your razor blade if you have trouble breathing. I don't have a problem, but I'm not everyone. Thanks keets :)

The only issue with this is that this was not your original idea. I made instructions on this website for this identical project about a year ago. Seriously not cool cool not to mention illegal in some circumstances... just compare the titles! If it truly was a mistake I understand, but either way, take it down. Here is the link for proof: https://www.instructables.com/id/1-Personal-Theater/

Or he could mention a source that he got the idea from if it wasn't his original idea. The problem with the internet is very rarely does some think of something original any more. :( I have great ideas, but then go online and they've already been done! Lol. I think it may be the same in this circumstance. He thought of this idea on his own, posted it, and it just happens to already be done. Se la vie. I don't think he copied yours, for example, and then maliciously put it up. :) Many blessings to you both.

Holy crap, just hang on for one second people. I get the idea that it wasn't hard to come up with. The thing that really irked me was the title. I named mine $1 Personal Theater. He named his Dirt Cheap Theater. That is what lead me to believe that he had copied. Sorry for causing this much of a deal. Jeez. BTW, this is the most comments I've ever got on anything

Alright, I can see ur point. The really funny thing about this is that when I made it, it didn't get featured. XD I am all for your solution. Sorry about this whole misunderstanding. Will the whole community chill now?

I'm cool with it XD. Tbh I'm glad we have a community that dislikes plagiarism.

Oh, a good way to get featured is to make instructables and enter them into contests immediately. I made this for the cardboard contest, and it got featured because everyone checks out the contests to vote and whatnot. However, I could enter this into a future contest such as a arts and crafts contest too.

Like someone else said, two people can come up with the same idea without getting the idea from the other one. He/she came up with the same idea as you, so good for them. (no offence, but this one is better put together than yours)

Okay. Half done. Now you have to print a picture of a movie theater and paste it on. And what about a small marquis for the side opposite the neck hole. Maybe a line of Lego people waiting to get in. Parking lot. ?

kidding aside. I know I am going to do this in a hotel room some day. Without the embellishments of course. And what if you used it to read or watch work related content. ? You could call it.... wait for it.... a box office. Okay I am shutting up now.
